NOW
The deal is done
ServiceNow says it has completed its acquisition of Armis, a move that plugs a pretty obvious hole in its security stack: knowing what assets are out there before they become a cyber headache. In plain English, it’s like finally labeling every box in the garage before the roof starts leaking.
Why this matters for ServiceNow
The company already has a habit of stitching together enterprise workflows, IT operations, and security tools into one giant software Swiss Army knife. Armis adds more visibility into devices and risk, which could make ServiceNow more useful to big customers that want fewer disconnected dashboards and fewer “who owns this?” meetings.
The investor angle
For shareholders, the key question is whether this turns into more platform stickiness and more upsell opportunities—or just another expensive trophy for the product shelf. If ServiceNow can bundle security more tightly into its workflow empire, that’s the kind of thing that can support growth without needing to find brand-new customers every quarter.
Big picture: ServiceNow isn’t trying to be one app anymore; it’s trying to be the operating system for messy corporate life. Armis just gives it a shinier badge in the security aisle.
